[Zope] problem trying to run in debug mode

[Tim Lynch]

I'm having a problem trying to run in interactive debug mode.

  I have stopped my zope process.

  cd'ed to lib/python

  ran ../../bin/python

  import Zope, ZPublisher

so far, everything is OK, the import works fine

then, I try to view my root-level page:

  ZPublisher.Zope('/')

I get:

  Status: 200 OK
  X-Powered-By: Zope (www.zope.org), Python (www.python.org)
  Content-Length: 0

that's it, that's all that displays.  I'm expecting to see the
source for my root-level index_html, but it's not displayed.

next, I try to access a page template in the root folder:

  ZPublisher.Zope('/foobar')

I get:

  Status: 404 Not Found
  X-Powered-By: Zope (www.zope.org), Python (www.python.org)
  Bobo-Exception-File: /usr/local/AgPortal/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py

why does the error msg report http://127.0.0.1/Zope/foobar instead of
http://127.0.0.1/foobar ??  Is that standard?  If I'm running zope
normally, I can display foobar with http://127.0.0.1/foobar


I'm running 2.6.1

any help with getting debugging going would be very much appreciated
